Conflict over the extraction of coal and gas resources has rapidly
escalated in communities throughout the world. Using an
environmental justice lens, this multidisciplinary book explores
cases of land use conflict through the lived experiences of
communities grappling with such disputes. Drawing on theories of
justice and fairness in environmental decision making, it
demonstrates how such land use conflicts concerning resource use
can become entrenched social problems, resistant to policy and
legal intervention. The author presents three case studies from New
South Wales in Australia and Pennsylvania in the US of conflict
concerning coal, coal gas and shale gas development. It shows how
conflict has escalated in each case, exploring access to justice in
land use decision making processes from the perspective of the
communities at the heart of these disputes. Weaknesses in
contemporary policy and regulatory frameworks, including
ineffective opportunities for public participation and a lack of
community recognition in land use decision making processes, are
explored. The book concludes with an examination of possible
procedural and institutional reforms to improve access to
environmental justice and better manage cases of land use conflict.
Overall, the volume links the philosophies of environmental justice
with rich case study findings, offering readers further insight
into both the theory and practice of land use decision making.
